Valdor Aircraft, an MRO provider at Quebec’s Val-d’Or Airport in the province’s Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, has received Transport Canada supplemental type certificate (STC) approval to re-engine de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beavers with the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT-6A-34, along with other modifications.

The rugged single-engine airplane—which first flew in 1947—still sees extensive use and has outlived its original radial engines in most cases, leading Valdor to develop the STC that replaces the powerplant with a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 turboprop.
